His Father’s Influence
We have talked about the fact that his father disapproved of his goals. Regardless, Sam Elliott knows that this shaped him into the person he is right now. “I wanted him to be proud of me. That’s the worst part of it. When you don’t think your dad’s proud of you – I knew he was in other areas. You know, I could catch more trout than he or any of his friends. He was proud of that…I don’t think he got the theater arts.”
